SOFT SUEDE UPPER

Utilizing a full suede upper with perforations for breathability, this pair provides supreme comfort all day long.

ULTRA LIGHTWEIGHT

Our proprietary IBR outsole is what makes Lems incredibly lightweight and flexible - giving your foot the sense of weightlessness.

ZERO-DROP

Places the forefoot and heel flat to the ground correcting posture, aligning your spine, and encouraging mid-foot strike.

WIDE TOE BOX

Unlike traditional footwear that squeeze the toes together, our foot-shaped toe box allows for maximum room giving the toes ultimate freedom to wiggle and spread.

Reviews Summary

Customers say these shoes are incredibly comfortable with a wide toe box and lightweight design. Many appreciate the minimalist barefoot style, cork footbed, and stylish appearance suitable for daily wear. The zero-drop construction and flexible sole allow natural foot movement while providing adequate cushioning for urban activities and casual walking. Repeat purchases are common among satisfied users. However, some note the shoes run small and recommend sizing up half to one full size. A few mention sole durability concerns with wear appearing after extended use, and some find the attached tongue creates a tighter fit.

Comfortable, stylish everyday sneakers
Just purchased these to spend 3 weeks touriing aorund Europe. My hope is they'll be a more stylish, low-key, comfortable alternative to my generally very woodsy shoe collection. I'm making a modest attempt at looking less like an American Gen-X dad from the PNW... if just for a few weeks.
I've spent a few weeks kicking around town, work, and short work trips now and really like them. Super comfortable, minimalist and stylish. I walk 10-12K steps on a typcial day and my feet remain very cool and comfortable. I think the cork footbed helps? I'm not a typical zero-drop shoe wearer - but I do have some old Earth Shoes, which are technically negative heel - no problems even though I spend 95% of my time in traditional soles.
I have a fairly medium width foot. I enjoy the wide toebox in these - but I don't think I'd venture too far on uneven terrain in these - they unstalble in those conditiosn. I work in natural resources, outside. Some days that means I'm in the backcountry (wearing boots); others, I'm hopping out of the truck just to look around a site in the woods - these are not the shoes for these kinds of activity. More of an urban creature.
Happy so far - looking forward to putting some 20K days around Rome in them soon.

These are a great pair of shoes! My husband loves them (but it takes a few days to break in). My husband wears these for errands and going out and about and they wear out very quickly. We are on our second pair in just one year, but they are comfortable and look nice.

LIGHT AND COMFORTABLE
this is my first time owning a pair of LEMS. I was looking for lightweight comfortable shoe for the summer months. The Primal Zen in all suede is just what I was looking for. the fit is perfect, I love the thin cork insole and although its all suede it is cool and feet have not sweat. I like the feeling of being closer to the ground while walking, but having just enough shock absorption on hard surfaces to feel comfortable.
